MSI R9 390X Gaming 8G Review. Today we explore MSI's version of the 390X core from AMD. We'll be pitting it against the NVidia 980 and examine the outcome. This particular card is overclocked above reference levels, is coupled up with their Epic Twin...

Big thanks to MSI for sending in today's sample. Gold Award – An easy gold award for MSI today as the MSI R9 R390X Gaming 8G is nothing short of fantastic when combining the performance and pricing together. If only this had been launched months...

There is always pros and cons for opting for one card over another but if you are the type of PC gaming enthusiast who likes simple, easy overclocking; or are budget conscience; or even just like getting value for your money the MSI R9 390X Gaming 8...

AMD's approach to new generations of graphics processors has been different for the past two generations. The Radeon R9 200 series initially saw the introduction of just one silicon, codenamed "Hawaii," which drove the company's previous flagship R9...

I've been using Nvidia graphics in my gaming PCs for quite a while — at least a couple of generations. Short dalliances with water-cooled monsters like AMD's R9 295X2 and R9 Fury X haven't been enough to tear me away. Maybe it's time to change, though;...

The MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G is an extremely powerful R9 390X custom graphics card. The cooler on this particular card is maybe the most capable model available these days. Apparently, this combination sounds rather compelling, so we're interested...

AMD's at its limit with what the Hawaii, Tonga, and “Grenada” architectures are capable of achieving. The slight +50MHz clockrate boost is an indicator of this and, although the cards are more than a mere “rebadge,” the limitations are obvious....

AMD's R9 300 series of graphics processing units extends the shelflife of the company's existing Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture at a variety of different price points and performance segments. The R9 390X, which sits atop the R9 300 series but...

On June 18, 2015 AMD launched its AMD Radeon 300 series of GPUs. While these are mostly "re-brands" of the Radeon 200 series, all of the GPU series got a refresh in terms of add-in-board manufacturer custom video card designs and a boost in VRAM...

Moving into the position of flagship to the new 300 series, the 390X offers up some significant improvements to its predecessor the 290X and is a serious contender to the GTX 980 on many levels. Furthermore to this, the 390X GAMING 8G we've looked at...

It's a remarkable achievement bearing in mind that all the evidence points towards the R9 390X being little more than an overclocked version of the outgoing 290X. AMD dubs the 300 series version of the chip 'Grenada' but really and truly, a straight...

While we like what MSI is offering, we do have mixed feelings about AMD re-spinning GPUs on this scale. It's not just AMD though, Nvidia as well - yet not to this extent. Honestly I do not know how long both AMD & Nvidia can get away with it, in the...

Today AMD is launching the Radeon 300 series of GPUs from the lower end Radeon R7 series of products up to the R9 series. The list of new video cards are, in order from slowest to fastest: Radeon R7 360, Radeon R7 370, Radeon R9 380, Radeon R9 390 and...

Let's shut up the naysayers before we begin. Yes, we know this isn't the Fury X. Yes, we know that normally we despise rebadged hardware as much as anyone. Yes, we appreciate this is a stop-gap measure and owners of the R9 290X need not apply. All got...

MSI's new offering can call 1024 shaders and 2GB of graphics memory its own, and it's is the smallest of the new graphics cards. We've gone over its technical specifications more than once and will consequently just refer you back to our original...
